“This makes no sense.”

Gabe looked over to see Raven staring at the numbers on her screen and shaking her head. “What’s the matter?” he asked, crossing to her side.

“Something isn’t adding up. Smythe passed the mask mandate months ago, right?”

“Yeah, as did many states. Why?”

“Well, you and I both know that masks are pretty useless, but even with them being useless, it doesn’t explain why positive cases are still occurring at such a high rate. Deaths seem to be lower which makes sense as we know so much more about how to treat this now, but why, if we are all masking and socially distancing, are cases still going up?”

“Well, the virus is highly contagious.” Gabe pulled up a chair beside her.

“I know, but something still feels off. Plus, look at this.” She clicked a different tab, and an email popped up on the screen. “Check this out.” She clicked on a picture inside the email, enlarging it before turning the screen toward Gabe.

He leaned closer to study the picture. “Okay, that looks like a hospital, but it appears empty.”

“It is,” Raven said. “Candace sent me this today. She said hospitalizations from NCAV are fewer than ten people most weeks, but no one is allowed to say anything. They were threatened with termination if they leaked any pictures.”

Gabe scratched at his chin. “So, there’s a rise in positive cases but a decrease in hospitalizations and deaths, but the government clearly does not want us to see that. Why?”

From behind them, an alert sounded on the TV proclaiming breaking news. They turned from the computer to watch.

“We are pleased to announce that the first NCAV vaccine, sponsored by Daman Caturix, has passed quality control checks and Dr. Goodman will be receiving the very first dose,” the news anchor said with a smile that was meant to be consoling but had the opposite effect on Gabe. There was still so much he didn’t know, didn’t understand, about how they planned to put the mark of the beast in the vaccine. The time crunch pressed down on him, an invisible weighted blanket that held no comfort at all.

“They are televising him getting vaccinated?” Raven asked, leaning forward in her chair. “This has got to be a part of it, Gabe, getting the masses to want this. I can’t remember a time they’ve ever televised a vaccination before. Have you?”

He bit the inside of his lip as he mentally reviewed the information again. An increase in cases but lower deaths and hospitalizations that were being hidden. A rushed vaccine that could be associated with the mark of the beast. A televised vaccination to portray the message that the vaccine was safe. He had to find out what was in the vaccine.

“No, I haven’t either,” he said, answering her question, “but I still have nothing, Raven. Nothing that tells me how they’re putting the mark in the vaccine, how to replicate it, nothing.” He wasn’t used to feeling like he had no control, and he didn’t like it.
